Thoughtless Trash

June 02, 1989|By David Oxford.

CHICAGO — Father Joseph Small, in his guest column on May 17 on POW camps for the drug war of `89, has evidently bought the news media hype about all that`s wrong with our society. His type of mentality has time and time again brought oppression and cruelty to people throughout history.

Father Small would like to disregard the Constitution of the United States, as well as democracy itself. Obviously such bitterness against humanity suggests his failure as an educator, a Christian and a person. Ivory tower demagoguery is not a solution to a complex problem.

The most frightening thought is that there are many people who would take this type of thoughtless trash seriously.
